CB OPERATION TIPS
Like most activities, CB radio users have customs
and courtesies. The following tips will help you get
the most enjoyment out of your CB.
TYPICAL USES FOR A CB RADIO
Business Uses
• Truck drivers and delivery personnel can learn
road and traffic conditions and get assistance in
locating destinations. A CB is also good com-
pany on these “long hauls.”
• Used by construction crews, a CB quickly pays
for itself when you are calling for additional
materials or coordinating the activities of differ-
ent work crews.
• For security officers, a CB is more than a conve-
nience — it is a must for both safety and effi-
ciency.
Personal Uses
• Keep in touch with home while driving to work, to
the store, or to a social activity. Let your family
know you are tied up in traffic or that you will
stop by the store on the way home.
• If you are a two-or-more car family, CBs are
great for inter-car communications while family
members are going places.
• Contact friends or neighbors — find out “what's
happening” or plan a get-together.
